Check out this video that I ripped from a friend’s blog site. What I find interesting about the video is 1)communication without words and 2) the message that involving yourself in the community can sometimes lead you into very strange circumstances. How many of you have involved yourself in a situation only to find that you [...]

It all started after Christmas. I decided to start The Green Team at work to evaluate some of our corporate processes in terms of efficiency and waste.
